After graduating with a double major in 1998, he attended Boston College Law School where he attained a degree in 2001. Since that time, Robins has worked in the New York City office of Bingham McCutchen LLP, a firm with 15 offices in the United States and abroad. His areas of focus are securities litigation, SEC/DOJ investigations into securities fraud and securities class actions.

He and his wife, Sima, also an attorney, live in Manhattan. Robins has continued to play baseball.

AMANDA PALMQUISTWater Polo1989 – Marshall – History

A four-year starter on Coach Denny Harper's Women's Water Polo team, Amanda Palmquist was the lone freshman in the starting lineup for the Tritons' 1986 national championship-the first at UCSD in her sport. The Tritons finished third in the nation in her junior season, runner-up her final year and Palmquist was a second team All-American in 1988.

A Berkeley native, Palmquist has enjoyed a variety of experiences since graduating from then Third College (now Marshall) in 1989 with a degree in U.S. History and a minor in Sociology. She was part of the Peace Corps and U.S. A.I.D. Costa Rica from 1990-92 before working at New Media Telecommunications in 1993-94. After getting married (she met her husband in Costa Rica) and having two children, she took a career hiatus to raise her family. Then, from 2005-08 Palmquist was with East Bay Restaurant Supply and also owned a car repair business before coming back to the UC system in 2008. At that time she stepped into her current position, issuing contracts for Capital Projects at UC Berkeley.

Twenty years after playing at UCSD, she rekindled her water polo career, playing for Oakland Masters. Her team won the 40's Bracket at the Masters National Championships.
